Mature / 18+ Tag - What do you think when you see it?

An age range tag of sorts might be better. For example 'Teen' 'Young Adult' 'Adult'. Then again, we might have the problem of what the 'Adult' tag can mean. Still, an age range tag could also be used for giving a general sense of the age of the characters in the RP.

I do agree though that it has lost its meaning - or, rather, its meaning is a bit of a grey area. The official description of '18+' is 'Involves adult themes'. Depending on how you interpret that, it's the difference between an 'R' rated movie and a 'XXX' one.

I think it's an interesting issue, and love to see some more discussion on it.

Mature / 18+ Tag - What do you think when you see it?

What do you use the 18+ tag for?

When seeing that tag, what do you think it means?

Personally, when I mention 18+, I don't mean a smut-fest of an RP. I mean that there is potential for darker themes, adult situations*, and potential (not guaranteed) 'romance' scenes. I also use it to filterer out under-18 individuals, because I'm not comfortable playing in a 1x1 RP with someone under the age of 18.

Others, however, do use the 18+ tag for plots that are more explicitly 'romantic' in nature.

Should there be two separate tags? Or should both uses fall under the same tag?

A simpler way to do that would be to just make statuses expire so that after a week they get purged

@Odin

I'm opposed to that idea. I know some people use their status as a quick 'I'm going to be gone for a while', just in case they missed telling any of their partners. It makes sense for it not to delete/expire after a short amount of time.

Unless you're talking about non-current statuses.

I just really want emails when I get a PM. I think it's a damn useful feature. And it stops me from refreshing the guild every 10 mins. xD

@Drache though it's based on a book where the main character is under 18 I have no intention of playing my character that young. I'd feel like a creeper at my age rping an under 18 year old for a romance. Send me a pm with your thoughts?

Still interested in this.

I'd really like my partner to play the dragon at this point in time.

@Mahz I mostly use PMs, but essentially.

I'm trying to remember the email system from the old guild. I know we had emails for PMs, but I don't remember if we had them for subscribed threads. I believe we did.

Its just nice to know if someone replied to something without having to come on to the guild and check. I am... lazy. xD

@Miss Gallagher Yeah, I can totally see that. I had to double check there wasn't anything in my trash that I wanted to keep before pressing that button. ^^;

All the changes are very nice. Deleting all my trash was both interesting and anxiety-inducing. xD

Suggestion for another change? E-mail alerts. I'd love to have those again, wonderful and all-mighty @Mahz.

~Soulmates: I'll find you again~ (MxF, FxF, 18+)

Send me a pm @Nikki Moonlight, and we'll talk about stuff. ^^
